Another quite week for challenges. Quiet, even. Quite.
Blame the summer holidays; I do. It’s difficult to be self-obsessed when the house is full of children demanding food and making me proud.
Which reminds me: apologies for overloading you with posts yesterday…ah, who am I kidding? I’ll be doing the same thing next year when he takes the bulk of his GCSEs. You might as well get used to it.
Here’s where I’m at:
Find another 64 challenges for the list. (27/64)
This number hasn’t moved for months. As I have a raft of new readers, I’ll throw the floor open to suggestions again. One caveat: they must be cheap or free.
Reach 30,000 comments on my blog (13,020/30,000)
I reached my original target of 13,000 yesterday. The exciting bit was actually seeing ’13,000 Comments’ on my Home Page. What can I say? I live a dull life.
Less than a third of the way in, I feel it was right to up the target to 30,000. However, if I do some rapid maths which make my head hurt because maths really isn’t my thing, I suspect the new number is still too low.
Any suggestions for a realistic target?
Go for 50,000. If you look like you’re going to come up short near the end we’ll all comment more.
Honestly, we will.
Because we like you.
I like tinman’s way of boosting
your stats
Go for 101,000!!
It fits. It’s ambitious. It’s free. We’ll all help you. Go Tilly, Go Tilly!!!
But you’d need to up the visitors too – which by the way is also not ambitious enough.
ASgain, we’ll all help you!!
AGAIN even.
Dear Tinman, Viv and Sarah:
1. lol
2. Thank you
3. Do you all cheat in exams as well?
I’m starting to think you should do a poll!!
13,000 is a LOT of comments, Tilly
I suppose
Hmmm. If you don’t mind the comments ranging from indignant to hate, why not insult a few religions, or even *shudder* say enthusiastically what a great job you think the present government is doing?
It’s an idea; but I don’t do controversy
I don’t know about your neck of the woods but if some museums are free on specific days, maybe you want to plan a few visits (by yourself or with the family).
Also, how about some picnics? I have it on my list because I used to do that as a kid but I don’t with my own kids and I’d really like them to have the experience to eat outdoors in an interesting place.
Take a class (free or cheap) to learn something different?
Try another playground?
I’m not helping much, am I?
Most museums are free now in the UK. I’ve visited all of those close to us; I have to go father afield for the five on my list.
Can’t imagine my 15 year old and 21 year old sons would be enthusiastic about picnics with mother
The class is a good idea; I’ll look around.
You make me think, so yes, you are helping. Thank you
OK, how about a picnic with your hubby? Somewhere nice and romantic with a great view?
Keep going Tilly?
PM: That IS a challenge – the Hub eating outdoors when there’s no barbecue involved
